Wordless Wednesday: The Santa Photo 2010

On Saturday we drove out to Kraynak’s to see their Christmasland tree display.
While we were there we took Adaline to see Santa Claus.

First here she is last year with the Santa at the Beaver Valley Mall, she was just over 4 months old:

Now here she is this year with Kraynak’s Santa
at just over 16 months old:

She was fine with Santa from afar until I tried to hand her over to him. Check out the thumbnails for the progression of torture.

Post Santa trauma. Not letting go of Mommy.

Post Santa bottle and nap. Phew, what a long day 😉

And lastly, proof-positive that I’ve probably scarred her for life.
Later in the day once we got home…
Yes. She’s licking the ornaments on the tree.

Lest you think that this was a one time mistake by a rookie mom you need to see how I purposely tortured my daughter with Santa yet one more time only 1 week later:Wordless Wednesday: The Santa Photo 2010 – The Sequel
Bad mom. Bad.

Isn’t he though? He’s such a super sweet old man…I think he might be the real Santa! I’d still like to take her up to the mall this year because I think he’ll be there again. But knowing that she’ll freak out like that would kinda make me a mean mom to do it to her again on purpose. Hmm…

Thank you! Naturally I think she’s the cutest thing ever and I found it funny when she was screaming to save her life (I’m truly messed up!). I never feed the poor girl, so ornaments must be the perfect snack 😉

Why, thank you 🙂 I find her to be terribly adorable. Poor kid, I surely traumatized her…at least there are pictures 😉 I love pigtails too. Every now and then I try to put some in my hair…but it just isn’t the same (and is maybe a little creepy, haha)

No she didn’t! And I’m so terrible that I took her to the mall today to get her photo taken with another Santa (the one in the first picture who is obviously the real Santa), so that her cousin could get his photo taken too. I’m a terribly mean mama!
